Bridge crews constantly being thrown around by cosmic bullshit and sometimes even getting sucked out into space

Do warp drives make people retarded?

Why not just issue the crew with magnetic boots

Perhaps you have heard Russian epic of Cinderella? If shoe fits, wear it!

The Prime Directive is very specific on what the bridge is allowed to have.

It's even more stupid when you realize the writers had to invent inertial dampeners to explain why the crew wasn't turned into chunky salsa whenever they went into or out of warp and yet those same dampeners can't handle impacts from other cosmic bullshit.

What? The reason that happens is because the dampeners fail and they mention it pretty fucking often. Confirmed for never having watched the show.

>ship gets shot
>console explodes killing whoever was sitting nearby
Why even join command at this point?

>Broken shins instead of falling over
Not worth it

They should just make spherical ships with gyroscopic hulls

This.

There is a lack of comprehension in this thread.

I'm aware you have a nerdspeak excuse for everything, doesn't make it look any less stupid

All you can eat tacos

ew they let him just walk around like that?

Population control.

Why not have the computer reorient the ship's gravitational pull in-time with enemy shots landing so as to prevent this? There might be a small bump or swaying feeling, but it's much safer.

>they always do this unprotected and basically naked in nothing but their uniforms

>nobody wears Metroid-style exo-suits or power-armor, that would protect against physical attacks, fire, explosions, foreign contaminants, infectious microbes and damn near most other thing that get people killed accidentally on Stark Trek

It makes it hard to take it seriously as hard science-fiction when damn near every episode centers around a crewman getting fucked up in some way due to easily preventable shit.

Sometimes you've just gotta accept it's a TV show and they don't have a huge budget, it's all written around that.

The most egregious example of this is that TNG episode where the ship hits a bump while Whorf is in the storage-area, and a giant fucking storage container falls off a 20-foot shelf and crushes his spine.

They KNOW that shit happens on a starship and nobody thought to secure the giant fucking storage-containers on a 20-foot shelf with a fucking bungee-cord?

>a fucking bungee-cord
A fucking bungee cord? Why? So it can bounce up and down and break his spine a dozen times or more?

But it's not hard sci-fi, it never was, it's as soft as they come

No, numb-nuts.

You put the container on the shelf. Then you hook each end of the bungee cord to the shelf with the container in between, so it's bound to the shelf.

Have you never used a fucking bungee-cord?

Exactly. It's still enjoyable and SF nerds usually watch it anyway, that's probably the reason of the confusion.

Why did they store explosives in the consoles?

For good luck

how about the fact that apparantly 99% of all crew members die by having their fucking consoles blow up in their faces

Not sure whether to go

Or

To punish failure

Starfleet is actually the most brutal organisation in the galaxy

...

they can cure every injury with ease, it's not really a problem

...

Then how do they end up dead in battle?

>mfw on TOS sometimes the stunt actors would get carried away and knock the chairs over

Obviously, a ship capable of accelerating via impulse to significant percentages of light speed must have some sort of inertia dampening mechanism tied in to its gravity generators, otherwise, everyone would be two millimeter paste on the wall of the bridge when it decelerated or accelerated, so how is this even possible...?

It's all bullshit, I know. Just thought I'd mention.

It was good that they finally addressed this but that alternative ending was diabolical in every other respect

Yeah this is the obvious answer. It's pretty annoying when guys here watch one or two episodes of Trek and start pointing out what they think are plot holes or logical inconsistencies that are explained pretty clearly.
Not to say there are no plot holes or logical inconsistencies, it's just that in most Trek series, they're on the subtle side.

you makie us laugh with this post
